Multiple entrances to access different parts of the OHV area. Lots of camping and OHV riding. There are fantastic Mountain Views in every direction. We had a lot of fun exploring the area, and getting amazing sunrise and sunset views! We did notice a decent amount of fireworks being set off by other campers-FYI if you have a dog that is scared of them. Seems extra crowded right after Christmas.

The place is OK to ride but has some very technical terrain on the mountains. It is an easy drive in but after the atmospheric storms there are some wash outs. So big rigs can't cross the wash and can become crowded at times

We were looking for a nice place to ride our dirt bikes... this place is awesome! Perfect terrain and beautiful. No showers but they have out houses at least. Very clean too.

I stayed here for 2 weeks straight, it was beautiful and (mostly) clean. I had a great time and really enjoyed the scenery. Lot of off highway vehicles but it didn't bother me at all!
